Going the extra mile (or 2,500)

How about this for a tale of extraordinary customer service.

New York taxi driver Douglas Guldeniz drove an elderly couple all the way from their home in Queens, NYC, to their retirement home in Arizona, 2500 miles away, in the city's longest ever taxi journey.

Guldeniz earned himself the New York Taxi and Limousine Comission's 'Going The Extra Mile' award (and the £1,500 fare!) for his efforts.

"If my passengers, they want to dance, then I want to dance for them," He said.

Not too sure about the dancing part... but what a great guy!

Not bad - not sure they could afford the petrol for that trip here.
